i'm not so sure d pricin in mesia but rm1k budget is a bit tight. so dun expect quad core + 890 series board + hp ddr3 + 5 series gfx.

u can start off w/ 7 series but considerin ahsos 880 evo is kinda cheap over there u mite as well start with a bang (well, i mite sound abit exaggerated but i consider this board is quite ok apart from d undervolt/overvolt issue). to me, mobo is one of d most crucial components in oc, chip & ram wise u can settle for lower end 1st while learnin & upgrade after ur more comfortable w/ tweakin.  nod.gif

m4a88td-v evo - brand new RM3xx
x2 240 - ~RM200
4GB Team Elite DDR3 1333 - brand new RM3xx
GFX - ermmm... 2nd hand 4830 mebe

if all get 2nd hand mite be able to meet ya budget... my humble 2 cents...  sweat.gif

Thanks for ur response bro .. i'll try to check some review about details given and mixed up from suggestion from u guys ... really appreciate it .. notworthy.gif
